What was the main problem with Thomas Edison's light bulb invention?

What was Thomas Edison's challenges when inventing the light bulb?
he couldn't figure out which material to use as the filament of his light bulb.
When did Thomas Edison invent cylinders that could be played with a phonograph?
About l877. the earliest Edison phonographs were the cylinder type. Disc recordings (hence the term Disk Jockey) were invented by Emil Berliner much later and he sold the patents to Columbia Records. We still have both Columbia records and CBS. Mr. Berliner was a US citizen who also developed the Microphone and related devices for recording purposes.

What would life be like without Thomas Edison's inventions?
In his lifetime, Thomas Edison had 1093 patents and held the record for having the most patents. If we look at his very first invention, we can see how it led to other great modifications from other great minds since Edison. He called his first invention the phonograph, which he made as a tinfoil cylinder with a stylus attached. Most people in the younger generation don't know that a stylus (a needle) is what was later used to play records on early record players and stereos. Without Edison's early experiments to improve the telegraph, by having it play sound back when messages came through the telegraph, we would not have had:early record playersearly stereosimprovements on both record players and stereosdevelopment of tape recordings, reel to reeldevelopment of tape recordings, cassettedevelopment of recordings on CDsdevelopment of tape recordings on DVDsAlthough Thomas Edison did not invent these, had he not invented the phonograph, the progression of inventions and improvements may not have happened.
What device captures sound waves and transforms them into mechanical energy to make recordings is it a phonograph?
Yes, a phonograph captures sound waves and transforms them into mechanical energy to make recordings. The earliest recording device of this type was invented by Thomas Edison.
The phonograph was assassinted in 1877 by?
Thomas Edison invented the phonograph in 1877. This device for recording and reproducing sound recordings was also referred to as a gramophone or a record player.

Where did music recordings begin?
In 1857 a French inventor named Edourd-Leon Scott de Martinville patented the first known devise, which he call phonautograph, which could transcribe sound by drawing a hog bristle over blackened glass. Unfortunately, his invention didn't include a means to play back the sound. In 1878, Thomas Edison patented his phonograph, originally designed to impress the sound waves into tin foil but changed to wax cylinders for commercial recordings. The first playable recording is said to be of Edison reciting "Mary Had a Little Lamb". The Edison Speaking Phonograph Company was established that same the same year. In addition to being an inventor, Edison was a talented promoter and his talent for promotion made his gramophone the most popular player of recorded music. Between the two mentioned patents, a number of inventors worked on similar devices but Edison was the one who prevailed. The Grammy Award is a replica of Edison's most popular phonograph and the name "Grammy" was named for it.
